I am starting ___ over Tomlinson week 16 (1 Viewer)

[Ariakis]

With 10 teams this season I am neutral in having 5 make week 16 (plus a toilet bowl that is in the running for 1-16 high points despite missing the playoffs). Two wrong decisions in week 14 cost me 2 more that would have won week 15 and be favored in 16. So ... as of now I think I am benching LT2 in the surprising 3 leagues that I own him in and made it this far.

1. Benching LT2 for a choice of Snelling/Harrison opposite Charles. This format only awards 3 for a TD. I see LT's upside in this format as 40-10-1 or 8 points. I would think Harrison if he gets any semblance of 15 carries can exceed that. Worth the gamble for his much bigger upside as a knockout blow.

2. Benching LT2 for Wells and Charles. Like #1, I own Rodgers and lots of stud WR's. I should mention I am also benching Deangelo even if he goes that far. Like #1, it's funny that my worst RB drafting leagues did so well. This is a normal scoring format but again I expect better than 11 points from Wells and Charles each and can live with myself LT truly has his first monster yardage and TD game of the year.

3. Benching LT with Turner hurt opposite ADP for Harrison although I just may go Mason. This is a dynasty format and like #1 and #2 I am favored to win so I am torn on just staying safe vs. going for the knockout punch.

Who else is rolling with LT this weekend and if not, who are you starting over him?

Tenn has 2 Starting LBs IR'd this week and is playing 2 nobodies; Start LT and Gates w/ huge Confidence tonight.

Well this kinda sucks. I expected LT to be decent but the team giving him multiple GL plunge possessions cannot be predicted. As long as the guys I do pick have solid games I'll be fine but that'll teach me to try to justify FBG's projections

MJD and Jamaal Charles.

Yep you did. In #1 though he only put up about 12 points as it's a yardage heavy league. If Harrison can get me 70-30-1 I'll come out ahead in that one. For leagues #2 and #3 that stings but as long as my replacement gets me 10+ each I should still be fine.

Good call.
